Abstract: | Understanding the electrical double-layer structure is of paramount importance for designing efficient electrochemical energy conversion systems. Under this aspect, this short review explores the influence of the electrolyte on parameters such as the double-layer capacitance and the potential of maximum entropy. Investigation of those parameters offers a deeper understanding on how the interfacial structure changes near reaction conditions. As a consequence, one can tune the catalyst activity by creating a more favorable environment in the electrolyte. The aim of this short review is to provide the reader with recent studies examining the electrode/electrolyte interface from experimental and theoretical standpoints. |
